There are two general types of Turbo Dork paints and one subtype:
Metallics contain pigments and small mica flakes that create a sparkling effect on the paint surface making it look like metal.
Turboshifts are made with tiny glass-like flakes that work like millions of small prisms within the paint. Depending on how the flakes are made, different colors are refracted or reflected in the light. In layman's terms this means that the paint changes color depending on what light you are viewing it under, and what angle you are holding it to that light.
There are three different categories of Turboshifts based pretty much on how they look in the bottle.
True2Color - more or less looks like one of the shifting colors
White Base - looks white with a few flecks of color
Red Base - looks red even though the shifting colors are not red
Zenishifts are Turboshifts that shift differently over different base colors. They appear almost as if they were two metallics in one bottle, with one color or the other dominating depending on what color base they are sitting over. In the bottle they look like one of the colors that they flip between.
Pale yellow with a hint of gold, tart, and very aromatic — well, maybe the fruit, but not necessarily the paint, though it is pale yellow.
It can be used layered under one of the others or on its own. Wave Length is known for its deep blues and purples with just a hint of pink.
Twin Sons is a Turboshift with a different look on different base coats, what we are calling a zenishift. Twin Sons is a rock/jazz/blue-green fusion.
A rich, coppery true metallic, just don't try to spend it. It is recommended that this paint be used over a black primer.
A pale, silvery true metallic that is almost chrome on large surfaces.
Taro, the paint, has the just the perfect shade of light purple to make it yummy.
Although Shifting Sands appears greenish gold in the bottle, it displays shades of yellow-gold with hints of brown when used.
Even though it is a light color, appearing white in the bottle, Sugar Rush is intended for use over a black primer as shown in the photographs.
A meaty, warm red metallic. Reminiscent of the marinara sauce on your mom's spaghetti.
Made with actual silver, Sparkle Motion will blind you with its brilliance. Give it your full commitment.
Dark, almost black, cool grey. This is the darkest of the silvery true metallics and looks best when used with a black undercoat.
Luckily, the paint called Sakura is not as ephemeral as its namesake. It can be used either layered over another paint or on its own over a white primer.
This paint starts out reddish in the bottle but then does a slow transition from yellow to gold to green before your eyes.
When life hands you lemons, use them to paint your miniatures. Pucker can be used on any undercoat color but works best over white as shown in the example photos.
Purl Grey is a mid-range purple with tinges of silver when used over a black primer.
While pink in the bottle, when used over white it is a peachy pink with blue highlights reminiscent of Sailor Moon’s fingernails.
A de-saturated purple with a hint of gold undertone to warm it back up.
Molten Mantle starts off looking deep purple in the bottle but shows off a slow shift from deep purple through red and orange to yellow when used.
Just peach of a color — warm pinkish-orange but without the fuzz.
Sundown over super cars and super stars. Pink and purple and chaotic hedonism.
Just like the tea for your favorite matcha latte, this paint is specially grown and processed to give just the right shade of pale green.
This bright paint is not a true turboshift but nonetheless has a hint of a yellow-green shift when used over a black primer.
Let Them Eat Cake can layered under one of the others in the set or used on its own to show off a range of colors from blueberry to plum with a hint of pink in the transition.
Will he ever know if there is life on Mars? This paint is a rusty, red-orange color, perfect for all of your Martians.
